I don't see how this can kill Moodle, as they are not buying Moodle, just 2 of its partners. There are over 50 partners world-wide that provide funding for Moodle development. They will never get the largest Moodle partner, www.remote-learner.net, who are dedicated to open source.
My cousin blames his testicular cancer on a decade of using a laptop resting over his crotch. Even though cancer does not run in his family (or mine) and I don't think I believe the laptop is to blame, it could be that it aggravated it.
Everyone at my company was still using XP until a few months ago when some management changed to Win7... doesn't look like the rest of us will be getting Win7 licenses anytime soon so I've decided to migrate to Ubuntu. I've been using Linux on my desktop at home since 2000 so I'm quite comfortable with it and I can't think of anything that I would absolutely require that would keep on the Windows platform. Besides, Wine can probably handle whatever issues come up.
Inkjets are a complete waste of money. Get yourself a b&w laser printer for document printing and go get any photos you want printed over to your local grocery store (via SD card or whatever) where you can get them printed for cheap. I try explaining this to some people but they don't seem to get it and would still rather waste money on ink and glossy paper.
..this were actually just the real woman, not animation at all? You would all look like fools with your "she doesn't blink naturally", "her face is too smooth", etc... comments.
Oh, wait a minute... this ISN'T animation, it's basically a wireframe model placed directly over the face. It basically is the real thing.
Not just "very close"... it's motion capture, not animation. So, yes, it is pretty much exact. Anything "odd" you see in the face is just because you've been told it's animation. Jokes on you.
Review of BASH COOKBOOK

Bash Cookbook
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
This book covers the GNU Bourne Again Shell, which is a member of the Bourne family of shells that includes the original Bourne shell sh, the Korn shell ksh, and the Public Domain Korn Shell pdksh. This book is for anyone who uses a Unix or Linux system, as well as system administrators who may use several systems on any given day. Thus, there are solutions and useful sections for all levels of users including newcomers. This book is full of recipes for creating scripts and interacting with the shell that will allow you to greatly increase your productivity.
Chapter 1, "Beginning bash" covers what a shell is, why you should care about it, and then the basics of bash including how you get it on your system. The next five chapters are on the basics that you would need when working with any shell - standard I/O, command execution, shell variables, and shell logic and arithmetic. Next there are two chapters on "Intermediate Shell Tools". These chapters' recipes use some utilities that are not part of the shell, but which are so useful that it is hard to imagine using the shell without them, such as "sort" and "grep", for example. Chapter nine features recipes that allow you to find files by case, date, type, size, etc. Chapter 10, "Additional Features for Scripting" has much to do with code reuse, which is something you find even in scripting. Chapter 11, "Working with Dates and Times", seems like it would be very simple, but it's not. This chapter helps you get through the complexities of dealing with different formats for displaying the time and date and converting between various date formats.
Chapter 12, "End-User Tasks As Shell Scripts", shows you a few larger though not large examples of scripts. They are meant to give you useful, real world examples of actual uses of shell scripts beyond just system administration tasks. Chapter 13, "Parsing and Similar Tasks", is about tasks that will be familiar to programmers. It's not necessarily full of more advanced scripts than the other recipes in the book, but if you are not a programmer, these tasks might seem obscure or irrelevant to your use of bash. Topics covered include parsing HTML, setting up a database with MySQL, and both trimming and compressing whitespace. Chapter 14 is on dealing with the security of your shell scripts. Chapters 15 through 19 finish up the book starting with a chapter on advanced scripting that focuses on script portability. Chapter 16 is related to the previous chapter on portability and is concerned with configuring and customizing your bash environment. Chapter 17 is about miscellaneous items that didn't fit well into any other chapter. The subjects include capturing file metadata for recovery, sharing and logging sessions, and unzipping many ZIP files at once. Chapter 18 deals with shortcuts aimed at the limiting factor of many uses of bash - the typing speed of the user and shortcuts that cut down on the amount of typing necessary. The final chapter in the book, "Tips and Traps", deals with the common mistakes that bash users make.
All in all this is a very handy reference for a vast number of the tasks that you'll come across when scripting with the bash shell along with well-commented code. Highly recommended.
You speak the truth. People who speed are ignorant and love to spout the old "you need to all drive fast, it's safe if you all do it" and "speed doesn't kill". The problem is that hardly everybody can drive fast while maintaining proper control. Will you just tell those people they can't drive anymore? That is very unreasonable. If you want the privilege of driving, then you must drive at the speed that the average populace can handle, which is usually the posted speed limit. These are scientifically researched numbers, not just something they pull out of their ass because they want to ticket you for going 30 over that number. Also, about the "speed doesn't kill" quote... would rather be in a accident going 70 or going 90? Think that extra 20 is not going to make a difference? You want to take that risk with your life? Imagine a head-on at 70, 70+70=140. Now at 90, 90+90=180.... hmmm... both are bad, but I'd rather take my chances with 140.
Life is very unlikely. It is very improbable. SETI will never find anything because even the universe is huge beyond understanding, the unprobability of life elsewhere is larger still. The probability of us ever communicating with this unprobable life elsewhere is equal to 0.
I've only been inside an apple store once (it was in a mall) and it had a lot of people in it but I got a really bad vibe from the place. Elitism perhaps? I'm not sure. It just didn't seem like a good place to hang out for too long.
I've been using godaddy to search domains for a long time and I keep track of what I'm interested in. I've never lost any. I am suspicious of this claim.
Not really a game... but the only thing I've "played" all year. Runs on Linux/Mac as well as Windows. If you've never heard of it, use my link to sign up.
It's not that big of a deal if people want to find you. In this modern day and age anyone can find anyone, regardless of if you have an open facebook account. Personally, if I were looking to hire someone, I'd look to see if they had a facebook account and I'd research their personality. If you aren't on facebook, what are you hiding? Why are you paranoid? Do you think people are out to get you? Since the future is all about information, I say I might as well set my visibility up in a way that I want it presented. The future is here, learn to deal with it or watch it pass you by.
I was doing web development work from home (for the past 6 years actually) and I recently returned to full-time work in a small company and found that all these young people actually use IM... all the time... even though they may be sitting in a cubicle next to the other person. Email is used to communicate with the clients but inner office is completely IM. I find it strange but I am getting used to it. Times seem to have changed.

I've stuck some velcro on the back of my android phone and some on the dash of my car. Works well.
That's what /dev/null is for.
"developed this level of sophistication" Meh. Just a bunch of "if" statements.
I have a gut feeling that golden ratio will fit into all this somewhere.
Isn't this common practice for MCSEs?
Who cares ... they don't even have a linux version anyway.
Oh, wait a minute... this ISN'T animation, it's basically a wireframe model placed directly over the face. It basically is the real thing.
Because someone wants their shitty blog to get hits and hopefully cause said shitty blog to become immensely popular and profitable.

Products like this are proof that audiophiles are not very intelligent and easily swayed to buying things they do not need.
If you click on the ORDER NOW you may clue into the fact that I posted this to be funny, not "Interesting". lol
Finally the Wii is becoming the awesome system it should have been from the start... with products like this that should have been available long ago.
